Weird kind of modern prostitute. Selling their soul for attention. Attention whore if you will.

In 1972 a journeyman construction trade could produce circa 24k/year....more in some cities. A new Cadillac was circa 8600. Our then two income mortgaged household garaged two (less than 3 year old) vehicles, one high end car, and a dependable nice pickup. We weren't overextended.
Most of the boomers I know are still high functioning entrepreneurs, docs, lawyers, etc.

No disrespect, but I'm not sure you get what the CPI is-- it calculates purchasing power between to points in time using a set number of consumer goods. So, to answer your question, probably a lot of people but they're earning significantly less relatively to prior generations.

That is the irony. Boomers alternate between telling us all the country is falling apart and how good it was "back in the day" to telling all the young people how easy they have it and how hard it was for them.
When I was a baby, my parents moved to Missoula County. My dad got a job at a lumber mill. My mom didn’t work until I went to school.
With only my dad’s income, they bought a house on 16 acres and both my parents always drove new or close to new cars. We weren’t rich but had plenty.
That’s not happening today.

Please spare me the 'acronyms for dummies' condescension. I read volumes of SAJ's missives.
....a 'chit ton of consumers' would have sufficed.

You can't answer a simple a or b question on the other thread so I guess you deserve to give a little of that wealth to the FA.
